In what can only be described as a surprise announcement Tuesday The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts And Sciences revealed that Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will be teaming up together to co-host the 82nd Academy Awards next year.

In a press release the Academy say, “We think the team of Steve and Alec are the perfect pair of hosts for the Oscars. Steve will bring the experience of having hosted the show in the past and Alec will be a completely fresh personality for this event.”

Martin hosted the 73rd and 75th Academy Awards shows, earning an Emmy nomination for the first stint. He has also served as a presenter on the show several times, most recently at the ceremony in February when he appeared with Tina Fey.
